Re: MembershipProvider, ADAM and userProxy

Hi Martin,

Yes, you're right. After lookup the diassembly code of the
ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, I found the following code fragement
which hard code the DirectorySearcher's filter as (objectClass = user):

===============================
private MembershipUser FindUser(DirectoryEntry containerEntry, string
filter, SearchScope searchScope, bool retrieveSAMAccountName, out
DirectoryEntry userEntry, out bool resetBadPasswordAnswerAttributes, out
string sAMAccountName)
{
MembershipUser user1 = null;
DirectorySearcher searcher1 = new DirectorySearcher(containerEntry);
searcher1.SearchScope = searchScope;
searcher1.Filter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)" +
filter + ")";

...............................

}
================================

So I agree with you that building a custom provider would be a reasonable
solution. Also, you can even make it more flexible(add more configurable
options) so that it can fit more scenarios.

For building custom membership providers, here are some good reference
maybe helpful to you:
